Here's what Ariana Grande thinks of Donald Trump
The eyes of the world are focused on Manchester and on the latest terrorist massacre which this time affected mainly children and young people. On stage, up until a few minutes before the explosion, was Ariana Grande, the 24-year-old American pop star who hasn't descended from the top of the classics for three years now. Donald Trump has called the Manchester terrorists "evil losers" who must be "eradicated from society". The singer just posted on Facebook: “I'm destroyed. From the bottom of my heart I'm sorry, I have no words ”.
With 106 million followers on Instagram, second only to Selena Gomez, 32 million on Facebook and 45 million on Twitter, Ariana Grande is confirmed as one of the absolute queens of the social world. In her posts a lot of music and little politics, except for her numerous feminist battles.
An exception, however, had been the presidential elections in the United States: like many other Hollywood stars, she too had used her power on the web to campaign against Trump and in favor of Hillary Clinton. Certainly not like Lady Gaga or Madonna, who have almost put work on hold in recent months to challenge the current President of the United States. Not wanting to accept the result of the elections, they threw themselves into the streets indulging in melodramatic declarations against the Tycoon.
Ariana, however, did not rejoice at Hillary's defeat. "Florida please!" she tweeted in astonishment on the night of November 9 as her birth status denied all the polls, and then again "it's terrible" and "I'm in tears." Also on Twitter he had openly supported Hillary Clinton's candidacy since the announcement of her presidential race, spreading the hashtag #Iamwither with sweatshirts, photos of the candidate with her mother and with a lot of video-teasing on Trump.
However, her reaction to The Donald's victory was more composed than that of her other friends and fellow pop stars. A few days later on Instagram he posted a map of the United States with the states that had voted Republican highlighted in blue and consoled himself by writing: "A little bit my hope is reborn that this is what our generation voted for. It makes me think that better times will come… now we just have to huddle together ”.
Ariana Grande is a staunch feminist and never misses an opportunity to expose misogynists by feeding them to millions of angry followers. In January, a few days after Trump took office in the oval office, the young singer dragged the crowd of the Women March in Washington, an unveiled demonstration against the new president, complete with signs and group selfies. A few days later he would burst into tears again posting on social media photos and quotes of the Obamas who left the White House. Trump for his part has never responded to the provocations of Ariana Grande, also because the waiting list was too long to respond to all the stars from the world of Hollywood and music who attacked him. But he is certainly not a fan: at the Gala evening organized by Time in April 2016, when a journalist asked him what he thought of Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, the Tycoon had cut it short: "They are terrible"
